10,000 photos. One at a time.
A photo-culling app that breaks your gallery into small groups, remembers what you've seen, and never deletes anything without asking.
You take forty photos of the same thing.
You keep all forty.
Every gallery app is designed to help you keep them.
Naru is designed to help you let them go.
How it works
Three steps, and the third one only happens when you say so.
Pick an album, see how far you got.
Your folders, each with a live progress line - 412 items · 63% done.
Step through one group at a time.
Fullscreen, one photo, swipe forward. Seeing it counts as sorting it. Double-tap anything you want gone and it dims.
Confirm once, at the end.
One tap sends everything you marked to Android's own trash confirmation - recoverable for 30 days.
What's in it today
Groups, not an endless scroll
Split your gallery by day, by month, or into fixed batches of 50 to 1,000. Small enough to actually finish.
Looking is sorting
Reaching a photo marks it seen. No extra tap, no button to hunt for - just swipe forward.
Double-tap to mark
The photo dims so you can tell at a glance. Change your mind as many times as you like.
Pinch to zoom, swipe to move on
Check whether it's actually sharp before you decide. Zoom resets itself when you swipe.
Bulk mode for the obvious ones
Long-press to select many photos - or a whole group at once - and mark them seen or to-delete in one go.
It remembers everything
Progress, marks and where you left off all survive closing the app. Reopen and continue mid-group.
Nothing is deleted until you confirm.
Marking is reversible, deleting is Android's job, and the trash keeps a copy either way.
Marks are just marks.
Marking a photo changes nothing about the file. Nothing happens until you tap the trash button.
Android does the deleting, not Naru.
Naru hands the list to the system, and Android shows its own confirmation sheet with every photo in it.
It goes to the trash, not the void.
Photos land in Android's trash and stay recoverable for about 30 days.
Sorting into albums coming soon.
Naru is still under development, with more features on the way. Stay tuned for updates.
